Best, Dave The original has a raised 'X' on styrene This is a bootleg on vinyl with a scratched in 'X' There is a green vinyl original but the label colour and layout is quite different Loads of threads on here about originals versus counterfeits Cheers Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Bitchdj Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 What i find astounding is that there are 4 bidders "to date" that have bid over £40 and they have 211 , 491 , 500 & 680 purchases to their credit , ( or more likely discredit ). It's not like they're "new" to the game is it ? I find it unbelievable how collectively they know **** all . Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tony Smith Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I reported a dealer selling obvious bootlegs to ebay twice over the last month, other than an acknowledgement email no action as the people are still trading. On Ebay. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

kevinsoulman Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 was gonna bid on this but after investigating find out it is not an original copy original has a raised up x in run out not scratched like yours regards kev Dear kevinw7962, Hi, A few ebayers have suggested this is a reissue, but I did buy what I thought was an original. If you win I will send you a scan and photos of the distinguishing "x" and you get a full refund if it's not what you wanted. Thanks, Oisin no reply to this one Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Its a vinyl boot!.....the New York pressed Shelley Products "X" is raised on styrene and the lookalike bootlegs (which were a very good quality press) have an etched "X" on vinyl..... the vinyl originals are west coast pressed...bulletproof quality and look like this: (thanx to P.Smith for mine ) Edited June 21, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
